http://www.gametrailers.com/player/37597.html This is the first full length CG movie for Resident Evil. It's set to release in Japan in October, and here over in NA sometime within 2008. I frankly can't wait. I love the RE: Trilogy of movies, but to have a real resident evil movie around the games will be a huge bonus.

Following this catastrophe, the Umbrella Corporation’s stock plummeted.

Only thing I thought that could have used more work was the way Claire walks towards the camera... it's kinda like she has a wedgie (the bad kind?) or something... Other than that i'm stoked about Resident Evil Degeneration. Resident Evil 2 was my introduction to the RE series and it's my favorite of the series.
No doubt, RE:2 was an amazing game. Really glad i'm on these boards, cause i wouldn't have seen this other wise. Thanks guys
Yeah they have the exact same animation as from RE2/Code Veronica--most likely the same team (definitely not the same team from RE3, which seemed a bit more natural).
See, the reason I like these animations and CG graphics, despite the...sort of crappiness to it is that it's got Resident Evil all over it. Yeah, they look rather old in comparison to other CG animations, but they look like Resident Evil CG's, which means the world to me.
Yup! I'm a huge fan of the Franchise as well. My Stunt Coordinator (Ron Baliki) trained Millia Jovovich for RE2. He spent 3 months teaching her all that you see on film. Here is a clip of Ron teaching her how to be a badass! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k2DP-F_HPA
Like that farce of a movie series? I'll pass until Hollywood decides to hire some knowledgable screenwriters.
